Selected JAC Liner buses now have onboard Wi-Fi

JAC Liner, Inc., one of the Philippines' premier bus lines, now offers free onboard Wi-Fi to passengers traveling to the south. All buses bound for BiÃ±an and Balibago in Laguna and selected buses headed to Lucena City in Quezon are now online, en route at no extra cost.

According to JAC Liner's LRT Buendia office, some of the newly acquired Yutong buses are already Wi-Fi ready, with the rest of the fleet scheduled to follow suit. Wi-Fi use is included in the ticket price and is therefore freely usable by anyone with a Wi-Fi-equipped device.

JAC's representative wasn't sure which telco provides the Internet service and which product is being used, although we think that it's a 3G Wi-Fi router like the Smart Bro Share-It.

Great job, JAC! A value-added bonus like this should rake in extra passengers, and we sincerely hope other bus companies like Philippine Rabbit and Victory Liner follow your lead.
